Turn signal help

[jfeg]

The left turn signal on my 03 flashs fast like a bulb is out. I've checked all of em and they all seem to be working fine.
Any ideas what else it could be?

Are any of the LED bulbs that you've replaced?

I bought it a couple of weeks ago. I haven't replaced any bulbs. The only light I know that's out is one side of the info display. I wouldn't think that would effect the turn signals.

According to my mechanic, the front turn signal sockets on my '03 corroded and needed to be replaced.

Check the bulbs. If any are LEDs, they draw very little and will cause the fast flash. There is a threshold of draw that below which, the flasher will flash fast to alert you that a light is out. It is also possible that one or more of the bulbs may have been replaced at some point with ones that use fewer watts than factory calls for. Causes same problem.

Thanks! I'll check the bulbs and socket and see what I find.

About a foot back from the socket, pull apart the connector and hit it with some Electronic Cleaner. CRC product, I use it about every 6 months.

Appears that my left front turn signal socket has been replaced along the way. And it has a different type of bulb than the right. The sockets appear to be the same. Left bulb has a glass, actually plastic, blade type connector end with 4 exposed wires, two on each side. It just tapers to a blade with no base.The right bulb is similar except it actually has a black plastic base.

If you're questioning now whether the previous owner put the correct bulbs in, just go and get these for starters:
